U21s:
Trouble at Mill
Latest (7pm KO):
Mansfield Town 2 Newcastle U21s 0
Tonight (Tuesday) sees Newcastle U21s conclude
their group stage games in the EFL Trophy, retaining a chance of progressing
to the last 32 for only the second time in the eight seasons that they have
participated.
The League One hosts were pointless after their opening two fixtures and
consequently unable to qualify, but grabbed a 14th minute lead at Field Mill
when Ben Quinn's left wing cross was volleyed in by Lucas Akins.
The black and whites twice threatened an equaliser; Garang Kuol's 24th
minute effort blocked at his near post by veteran goalkeeper Scott Flinders.
Kuol then set up Ben Parkinson to centre from the United right four minutes
later, but Travis Hernes was unable to keep his effort down with the goal at
his mercy.
That proved to be a costly miss as the Stags doubled their advantage seconds
later; Quinn running on to Frazer Blake-Tracey's incisive through ball and
side-footing past Aidan Harris at his near post.
Jay Turner-Cooke's fine pass then released Kuol in the 36th minute and he
cut in from the left flank, only to wastefully shoot weakly straight at the
'keeper.
More to follow...
Team: Harris, Shahar, Heffernan, McArthur, Charlton, Hernes, Huntley,
Turner-Cooke, Emerson (Sanusi 46), Kuol, Parkinson. Subs n/u: Ad.Harrison,
Al.Harrison, Donaldson, H.Powell, Munda, Neave.
Booked: McArthur
There's a competitive Magpies bow for fit-again Garang Kuol, just over two
years after signing for the club. The 20 year-old featured in both
post-season first games in Australia last May and in the closed door meeting
with SpVgg in July but has been out with a thigh problem.
MTFC: Flinders, Kilgour, Akins, Maris, Macdonald, Flint, Quinn, Nichols,
Waine, Blake-Tracy, Boateng. Subs n/u: Mason, Flanagan, Kruszynski,
Chambers-Morgan, Kokkinos, Warnaby, Taylor.

Newcastle have two points from their first two
games, thanks to a draw at Bradford City and a bonus point by winning the
penalty shootout that followed.
They need three points* to elevate them into the second
qualification spot behind a Rotherham United side who have won both their
games and are assured of progression from Northern Group H.
Newcastle's fate would then be decided on Tuesday November 19th when the
Millers travel to Bradford.
* A draw and bonus point acquisition via the
penalty shootout that followed would then require Rotherham to
inflict a six goal defeat on Bradford for Newcastle to sneak through
on goal difference.
This
will be the second time that the two sides have met in this
competition; a 3-6 loss for Elliott Dickman's Magpies rounding off
their 2021/22 campaign.
Update:
Prospect secured
As rumoured online some weeks ago, Tuesday saw Newcastle announce the
permanent signing of 17 year-old forward Vakhtang Salia from Dinamo
Tbilisi.
A deal bringing the Georgian youngster to Tyneside will be concluded when he
turns 18 on August 30th 2025, with him playing on for Dinamo until then. The
transfer fee has not been announced.
Assuming Vakhtang makes it into our senior side, he'll become the third
Georgian to have done so, following Temuri Ketsbaia and Zurab Khizanishvili.

Chelsea
(h)
Following a Premier League meeting at Stamford Bridge the previous
Sunday, The Magpies and The Blues face each other again in a Carabao
Cup Fourth Round tie at Gallowgate on Wednesday night.
It's a 7.45pm start and live on Sky Sports+.
A reminder that match tickets will need to be
downloaded via your ticket office account or the confirmation email sent out
by the club.
Given the dubious internet coverage in the vicinity of SJP we'd advise doing
so well in advance....
A result must be achieved on the
night - if the score is tied after 90 minutes a penalty shootout
will ensue.
At stake is a place in the Quarter
Finals, scheduled
for w/c Monday December 16th. That draw will be staged following
the Spurs versus Manchester City on Wednesday night.
The visitors were allocated a maximum of 4,883 places -
just over 1,600 more than set aside for PL fixtures - and appear to
have sold them all.
The NUFC club shop underneath the
Gallowgate End will re-open on Wednesday at 4pm (Mags+ members can gain
entry between 2pm and 4pm).
Team: Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Eddie Howe
played down the groin strain that Anthony Gordon suffered in training on
Saturday and said there was "a chance" he could feature in
Wednesday's tie.
Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles and
Callum Wilson remain out while the status of Matt Targett and Martin
Dubravka isn't
currently known.
Joelinton and Dan Burn remain one booking away from an automatic
one match ban but any yellows received in this tie won't
result in their suspension on Saturday - the only change to that
would be if either saw red.

U18s:
Academy goal glut
Leeds United U18s 4
Newcastle U18s 5
Having won and lost their last two
league games by the odd goal in five, Saturday saw the goals
raining in once again for Newcastle U18s.
The Magpies quickly went two goals up at the Thorp Arch training ground
through Joe Brayson's fifth minute effort and one from Logan Watts seven
minutes later.
Leeds reduced the arrears on 24 minutes through Freddie Lane, but a
quick-fire brace from striker Sean Neave in the 32nd and 35th minutes left
Chris Moore's side 4-1 ahead at the end of 45 minutes.
Lewis Pirie then hit a second for the home side in first half added time
before Ollie Pickles added another on 69 minutes and Pirie's 77th minute penalty conversion
made it 4-4.
Neave wasn't to be denied though and the top scorer completed his second
league treble of the campaign on 85 minutes to win it for Newcastle and make
it seven goals in just four league starts so far this season.
Team: Anderson, Tika-Lemba (Old 81), Craggs, Johnson, Finneran (Mills
73), Watts, Wooster (O’Donovan 73), Alabi, Brayson, Neave, Ferreira. Subs
n/u: M.Miley, Jones.

Magpie loan watch:
Harrison Ashby
(QPR)
A 90 minute shift for Harrison as the R's collected a noteworthy point at
Turf Moor on Saturday. It finished goalless with Burnley in the Championship.
Jamie Miley
(Newport County)
Jamie played the full game at home to Fleetwood Town in
League Two on Saturday - the second game of his comeback
following surgery to correct a hernia.
It ended scoreless and the midfielder was booked at
the end of the first half.
Max Thompson
(Chesterfield)
Max conceded twice at Morecambe in League Two on Saturday but his
colleagues rattled in five at the other end.
Joe White
(MK Dons)
Joe remained on the bench as the Dons won 3-1 at Grimsby Town in League Two
on Saturday.
Jamal Lewis
(Sao Paulo)
Jamal started and played the first 65 minutes of the 1-1 draw at
Criciuma in Serie A on Sunday. A late equaliser leaves Sao Paulo
sixth having played 31 games.
Miodrag Pivas
(Willem II)
A 0-1 loss at Ajax in the Eredivisie on Sunday saw Pivas introduced
as an 82nd minute substitute with the scoring complete.
2024/25:
Arsenal (h)
Newcastle return to Premier League
action on Saturday, hosting the Gunners in a 12.30pm kick-off, live on TNT
Sports.
Defeat to Arsenal would make it six games in the league without victory, the
lengthiest barren run Eddie Howe's side have endured since August/September
2023 - also six games.
Team: To follow.
Both Joelinton and Dan Burn are one booking away from an automatic
one match suspension.
AFC: Kieran Tierney and Jurrien Timber are out but William Saliba is available after
suspension. Martin Odegaard, Gabriel and Takehiro Tomiyasu could be
involved.
Ahead of their visit to Tyneside, Mikel Arteta's side travel to Championship
side Preston North End in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Four away games in the Premier League for Arsenal so far this season have
brought victories at Aston Villa (2-0) and Spurs (1-0), a draw at Manchester
City (2-2) and a defeat at Bournemouth (0-2).
Former Magpie midfielder Mikel Merino is set for his first competitive
return to Gallowgate. The Spaniard's last appearance there was for Newcastle
in a 3-0 Premier League win over Southampton in March 2018, coming off a
bench including Jacob Murphy to line up along with Martin Dubravka and
Jamaal Lascelles.
Referee:
John Brooks - first Newcastle game of the season for the

On This Day in History |
29th October |
Born Or Died:
1903 William Gillespie born, Fife,
Scotland.
(1927-29)
Full back who arrived from East Fife at a cost of
£1,500 but failed to make an impact at SJP, joining
Bristol Rovers on a free transfer at the end of the
1928/29 season.
Gillespie subsequently returned to his native Scotland, first
with St.Mirren and then back at East Fife.
1932
John McGuigan born, Motherwell, Scotland. (1958-62)
Inside forward who had appeared in the
Scottish League for St.Mirren before moving to England
with Southend United in 1955.
United parted with £2,250 plus Bill Punton to the
Shrimpers ahead of the 1958/59 season for John and got
off to a good start, netting on his debut in a 2-0
home win over Everton.
However the departure of manager Charlie Mitten spelt
the end for John and he was never selected by Joe
Harvey before leaving in January 1962 for Scunthorpe -
Barrie Thomas coming in the opposite direction.
John subsequently played for Southampton, Swansea Town
and Kings Lynn and after his retirement became a
publican in Hampshire.
Returning to Scotland, John worked for an engineering
company and was living in Lanarkshire at the time of
his death during August 2004.
1949 Death of Curtis Booth,
58.
(1913-20)
1951
Stewart Barrowclough born, Barnsley (1970-78)
Occasionally inspired winger signed from his
home town club where he'd broken through from
the youth side - Barnsley - breaking their transfer
record when raking in £40K.
A broken finger saw him miss the infamous Hereford
replay defeat, but Stewie scored as we won at Old
Trafford the next week.
Barrowclough missed the 1974 Wembley FA Cup Final
defeat due to injury, but was part of the side beaten
there in the
League Cup Final by Manchester City two years later.
Capped at U21 level, he was sold by Bill McGarry
following relegation from Division One in
1978, moving to Birmingham City with John
Connolly and Terry Hibbitt leaving St. Andrews in
exchange.
Later moves saw Stewie appear for Bristol Rovers, return to Barnsley and
then play for Mansfield Town, hanging up his boots
when on the books at Field Mill in 1985.
A return to football came as manager of non-league
Frickley for a spell, while he visited Wembley again in 1996 when in charge of Grimethorpe Miners'
Welfare, his side defeated on penalties in the FA Carlsberg Pub Cup
Final.
Barrowclough lives in Barnsley and was employed as a
technician for Rexam Glass.
1970 Anth Lormor born, Ashington.
(1987-90)
Striker Anth (aka Tony) came to the
attention of Newcastle after scoring 80 goals in 40
games for Wallsend Boys Club, arriving at Gallowgate
via a government YTS (Youth Training Scheme).
Maintaining his scoring form for United reserves and
juniors, he was promoted to the senior squad for a
midweek kickabout away at Queen of the South in
January 1988 and then named on the bench for the
visit of Spurs to SJP the following weekend.
Replacing Mirandinha during a 2-0 victory, 17
year-old Lormor was given further pitch time for the
first team in a home friendly against AS Monaco,
signing a three year contract soon after.
the unavailability of Newcastle's Brazilian forward
then saw Anth handed a first competitive senior
start that April, taking just five minutes to net
the opener in a 3-1 home win over Oxford United.
He added to his tally with what proved to be the
winner in a 2-1 success at Portsmouth the next
weekend and finished the season leading the line as
West Ham lost 2-1 on Tyneside.
While the first team jetted off to the West Indies
on a post-season tour, Lormor was in the party that
won an U21 tournament staged in the Dutch city of
Enschede.
A summer recruitment drive saw the likes of John
Robertson and John Hendrie arrive, Anth going on a
month's loan to Norwich City in November 1988, as
caretaker boss Colin Suggett prepared to sign
trialist forward Rob McDonald.
Returning from Carrow Road a month later without
making an appearance for the Canaries, City defender
Andy Fensome similarly failed to catch the eye at
SJP and returned to Norfolk at that point.
Featuring again for Newcastle's reserve and junior
sides, Anth's next taste of senior football came
when Jim Smith called him up to replace the injured
Mirandinha in May 1989
Netting after just two minutes of a home game
against West Ham, he was unable to prevent a 1-2
loss that sealed our relegation fate.
Featuring against Millwall and Manchester United,
Lormor was pushed further down the striker queue by
Smith signings Mick Quinn, Mark McGhee and Gary
Brazil, returning to the reserves.
Early 1990 saw him sold to Lincoln City, where he suffered a serious knee
injury but recovered - thanks in part to the surgeon who also
repaired the knee of his former Magpie colleague Gazza in 1991.
A move to Peterborough followed before a spell at Chesterfield during which he
scored their first-ever Wembley goal in the playoffs.
Further transfers took Tony to Preston North End, Notts County (loan),
Mansfield Town, Hartlepool United, Shrewsbury Town (loan), Kettering Town (trial),
Halifax Town (trial) and Telford United.
However, his time at the Shropshire-based Conference side was blighted by injury
and he was forced to quit in January 2003.
Lormor joined Central Midlands League side Sutton Town and continued to play at
that level, also working as Commercial Manager.
2005 saw him defect to rivals Heanor Town but a year later he was back at
Sutton - as a coach - before taking on a similar role with North East Counties
League side Teversal.
After a career in telecoms sales, Lormor worked in Commercial & marketing
roles at both Chesterfield and Mansfield - leaving Field Mill again for
pastures new in 2008.
Later acting as Chesterfield's kitman, Tony sadly
received a cancer diagnosis in 2013.
Overcoming that, 2021 found him undergoing treatment
for a fourth manifestation of the disease.
PS: Lormor was part of a PFA initiative in 2000 aimed at fast-tracking players
into becoming referees.
However, he quit after getting to Sunday League
standard other commitments preventing him from officiating
Saturday fixtures.
1990
Campbell Bell born, Durham.
(2006-09)
Striker who marked his competitive debut for United's
U18 side with a goal in a 2-0 away win over the smoggies in March 2007.
That goal was of special satisfaction for Bell, who
had been on Boro's books for a spell before linking up
with the Magpies.
However, he failed to break into the Reserve side and
was released, appearing on trial for Lincoln City's
second string in April 2009 but failing to win a deal
at Sincil Bank.
He later became a personal trainer and worked for Durham
County Council.

Roper(9,0-2,0-3)
54,670
Despite playing on the left wing rather than his
regular centre forward spot, Don Roper netted a hat trick
for the Gunners.
Roper would find himself out of position again in a game
against Newcastle in 1952 - forced into a defensive role
during the FA Cup Final, when Wally Barnes was unable to
continue.
1953 24 hours
after Alan Monkhouse completed his move from Millwall,
United acquired inside right Ivor Broadis
from Manchester City.

Two days after playing out a 1-1 draw at Charlton,
United provided the opposition to the Royals in the last
of a short series of midweek matches to christen the
recently-installed Elm Park floodlights.
The Division Three (South) hosts made a game of it,
scoring through Tommy Dixon and a penalty conversion from
Ray Reeves.

En route to doing the Double, Spurs scored four goals
on their travels for the third successive time as they
made it 14 games unbeaten.
Len White's two solo strikes put United ahead before
Maurice Norman headed in a corner to reduce the arrears
before half time.
John White levelled before Cliff Jones made it 2-3 despite
claims he was offside. Gordon Hughes saw his cross missed
by goalkeeper Bill Brown for 3-3, but Bobby Smith had the
last word, finishing Les Allen's centre.

Following a 0-6 pasting the previous Saturday at
Blackpool, Newcastle saw their run of seven home league
derby games without defeat emphatically ended.
There was a not-so-mighty debut for Wyn Davies following
his arrival from Bolton Wanderers, but better
was to come....

37,574
Ex-Magpies boss Gordon Lee saw his Toffees side
come from behind three times to earn a point at
Goodison Park.
Behind to an early effort from Mike Pejic,
Tommy Craig volleyed past fellow Scot George Wood
before Alan Gowling put United ahead.
The two sides then traded goals, Tommy Cassidy and
then Gowling again giving the visitors the lead only
for Mike Lyons and Bob Latchford (twice) to peg them
back.
1983

5-0 (2-0)
Division Two
P12, 26pts, 2nd/22
Beardsley(8,60,78), Keegan(38), Waddle(88)
33,675
Peter Beardsley became the first Newcastle player to hit a
home treble since Alan Gowling in 1976, as
"United ran riot" according to the Football Pink.
Despite conceding five goals, City's man of the match
was goalkeeper Alex Williams - whose heroics kept the score down.

Chapman(64)

The match programme for this game had a blank space
next to the job title "team manager", with
Willie McFaul having walked the plank three weeks earlier.
Coach Colin Suggett was in caretaker charge for a fourth
game, but unable to follow up a midweek home beating of
the smoggies with three points against Clough & Co.
1991
Peterborough United (a) 0-1 (0-0)
League Cup 3rd Round
Charlery(85)
10,382
Having crept past Fourth Division Crewe Alexandra in
the second round, Ossie Ardiles saw his Division Two
Magpies eliminated by third tier opposition at London
Road.
The only goal of a forgettable tie came as a replay
looked odds-on - ex-Newcastle defender Peter Johnson
crossing for Ken Charlery to head past Tommy Wright.
This was to be the solitary first team appearance of
striker Justin Fashanu, who failed to make any impact in
his 20 minute outing from the substitute's bench.
His misery was complete when the visiting dressing room was
broken into and ransacked while the game was in progress -
Fashanu losing £500 in cash and other players robbed of
money and jewellery.

Manchester United (a) 0-2 (0-1)

Pallister(11), Gillespie(77)
43,795
Newcastle's unbeaten start to the season in both
league and cup finally came to an end at the eighteenth
time of asking.
Gary Pallister headed home a Ryan Giggs free kick
awarded by referee Joe Worrall for Steve Watson's clean
challenge on Paul Ince.
And a spirited Newcastle display was finally quashed
late on by a fine effort from Keith Gillespie - catching
the eye once again as he faced his future employers.
Magpies striker Andy Cole missed what would the first of four league
games with shin splints, with Paul Kitson also absent
following the midweek League Cup meeting between these
two sides.
"We were like toothless tigers... there were too many
square pegs in round holes"
bemoaned Kevin Keegan afterwards.
10,000 fans watched on big screens at SJP, while those
at
Old Trafford without one of the 1,200 away tickets were confronted by Manc touts charging (and getting)
up to £150
per ticket.

Newcastle's run of eight consecutive
wins in all
competitions ended in a well-contested Sunday clash on TV.
Geordie Chris
Armstrong put Spurs ahead, only for
David Ginola to level early in the second half with a
well-struck shot.
Fellow future Cockerel Les Ferdinand came
agonisingly close to becoming the
first United player to score in nine consecutive
matches, but his late effort was blocked on the line.
1996

UEFA Cup 2nd Round
2nd Leg
Asprilla(42,58), Ginola(65) Ferdinand(90),
35,740
Trailing 2-3 after the first leg and without Alan
Shearer, United were given the opportunity to equalise
when Tino Asprilla was hauled over the box after 23
minutes.
Peter Beardsley stepped up to send the visiting
goalkeeper the wrong way at the Leazes End, only for his
penalty to strike a post and deflect out for a goal
kick.
Asprilla did net from close range before the break
though and the hosts then swept the Magyars
aside in the second period.
David Ginola's effort was the pick of the goals; controlling the ball with one foot, knocking it up and
sending a scorching volley into the Gallowgate goal with the
other.
"That is our best display yet; it was tremendous and
I know it was a great advertisement for English
football" enthused Kevin Keegan.

2002
Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine) (h) 2-1 (0-0)
Champions League Group Match 5
Speed(58), Shearer(69pen)
Shatskikh(47)
40,185
The Ukrainians were beaten despite the absence of United's central defensive pairing of Titus Bramble and
Andy O'Brien through injury.
The winner came when Alan Shearer was held in the box and the
fourth official (who replaced the injured
referee at half time), awarded a fairly soft
penalty.
Al scored to take the fight for qualification to the final set of matches, United away to Feyenoord
and Juventus in Kiev.
As Bobby Robson said: "...if Juventus play their best team and play to win
and do win, then we have a big chance.
"But I can't predict
results - if I could, I would be a rich man, not a
football manager."

2007
A
classic game of two halves for the reserve
side at St. James' Park - the Alnwick variety, not
the Gallowgate one.
Northern Alliance Premier Division Town made it through to
half time with this Northumberland Senior Cup
tie still 0-0.
However, James Troisi broke the deadlock on 53 minutes and
United scored six times more in the next half hour for
a 7-0 win.

Newcastle broke their Etihad hoodoo at the eleventh time of asking with
an unexpected but thoroughly merited win.
Ryan Taylor claimed an assist for the opener on his first senior appearance for over two years,
later making a fine goal line clearance and playing as if his life
depended on it.
United should have been awarded a penalty with the score at 1-0 when Gabriel
Obertan was felled by Aleksandar Kolarov who would have been red-carded but
rotten referee Stuart Attwell waved away the appeals.
Obertan's shot was disallowed, Paul Dummett had a volley cleared off the
line, Fabricio Coloccini hit his own
post and Rob Elliot made some vital stops. What a night.

Mitro's double ensured back-to-back wins over PNE but
it was a very different performance to the 6-0 stroll against the Lilywhites

A game of two halves, but Villa played no active part in
either of them. Instead, a trio of sizeable breaks in play for visiting players to get medical attention resulted in 10 minutes of time added to
the opening period, during which United regained their scoring touch. That continued after the break as Callum Wilson, Joelinton and Miggy Almiron
all struck and the goalframe also took a battering. NUFC.com match report
2023 Newcastle U21s made it seven games unbeaten in all competitions with
a 1-0 victory over Everton at Little Benton.
Amadou Diallo's penalty conversion in the second minute of
first half added time proved decisive.
